How to share Live videos to your Stories and 5 other Instagram features you may not have known about.

Face it: You probably scroll through your Instagram feed moments before your eyelids shut, and check your notifications all bleary-eyed first thing when you wake up. With all that time spent Liking and filtering and tagging, you must have discovered all there is to know about the platform. Not so fast! Teen Vogue spoke to an Instagram spokesperson about all the underrated features you probably don't know about, but definitely should. Here, the roads less traveled to Insta-fame.

1. Replaying Live Videos

Anyone who uses Instagram's Live video feature knows how great it is to stream to your followers and get hearts and comments in real time. And though Instagram changed how ephemeral the videos are by allowing us to save them back in March, there was still no easy way to recirculate the video to your followers. Until now, that is. To kick off VidCon, Instagram announced that you can now share your Live videos on your Stories for 24 hours — meaning none of your followers have to miss out just because they couldn't watch live.

2. Photo orientations

The benefit of your standard iOS camera is that it allows you to shoot with preset crop variations, say, horizontal photos for a sweet Facebook cover photo or square to fit neatly into thumbnails. But Instagram just rolled out landscape and portrait orientations in Direct so your ~private chats~ are effortlessly artsy.

3. Two ways to search for Stories

As it previously stood, Stories on Explore were like a restaurant menu. What you saw is what you got. But now you can search via location and hashtag for a more tailored viewing experience so long as the user included a location sticker. Location pages themselves feature a clickable red story ring around the thumbnail image. Like location, search for Stories through hashtags as well.

4. Get featured

Want more eyes on your Stories? Opt in to be featured in a larger story from a main location, say, Disney World or Paris. If you do get included, you'll see how many people saw it at the top. Simply hit the X on your Stories viewer list if you don't want to be included. You can always unhide it if you change your mind.

5. Link in Direct

Finally, send links to friends through Direct with previews (so you know they're not shady). Support for links applies to phone numbers and addresses to, which makes setting up plans and finding directions a total breeze. Until the day actual captions link to webpages, we'll be on the edges of our seat. "Link in bio" is for suckers, or is it?

6. School stickers

Whether you're cramming for your last exam or have already walked across the stage to the sound of applause, school is on your mind one way or another. End of the year stickers available on camera mode make it easy to commiserate — and celebrate — with your classmates. "King" and "Queen" with their corresponding crowns are personal faves since you can technically use them year round. This release comes on the heels of their new day-of-the-week stickers (Friyay, anyone?).
